Firstly, do you have the appropriate KI's for the reives that you are doing? IE Woodcrafting, etc?
Second, do you have reive unity yet? I have seen a lot of people doing them without this KI, and it is absurd to not have it for what it gives.
I only play summoner at the moment, and am capable of getting 1-4k bayld per reive depending on how the reive goes etc. A majority of my contribution comes from healing / status effect removal / buffing, with a smattering of damage thrown in. Carbuncle tends to be one of the better full time pets for reive's with a large number of buffs to cycle through and the best heal you have avaliable.
Damage is nice to have, and it doesn't hurt to have your pet sitting on a root and using a blood pact rage every once in a while, but my bread and butter is healing / support. Also, grab the reive staff if you don't have something equivilant, the +MAB to pets in reive's makes a noticable difference in damage output.
